Hello. Thank you for your question. As you’ll see from the post above, I do not recommend this as a measure to assess risk.

Hi,

Just to inquire, should the the SADPERSONS scale be used to assess risk in patients who are admitted at the ED for suicide attempt ?

Thanks for this article, professionals now have a resource for managing patients with suicide risks. If you know someone who has mental health problems, convince him or her to get professional help. These experts know what’s best for them and would definitely be of help.

Mrs T Bridle….
I too have experienced that, except my son was a few months shy of being 7 years old. He was told from a bully at school he should kill himself. That particular bully has really done a number on my son who is now 9 almost 10 and as of yesterday started to write his first “suicide note”. Thankfully we have a good support system although it may not sound like it. His pediatrician, psychologist, teachers and other school personnel are all very supportive of not only him but our whole family. Definitely take your son seriously, mine is still alive today because I did!

What frightening words for a loving mummy to hear. I am glad you have made an appointment. Parents who listen and involve others to help can go a long way. Be patient. I hope you and your son find relief. My best, Tony

Last night my 8 year old son told me he had the very very strong feeling that he should swallow a large marble so he could die. He has never said anything to this effect ever. He also said it was a feeling he couldn”t control and he didn’t like. He wanted it to go away. I am so scared for him and have made an appointment for him to see a child counsellor. I do not understand where this has come from. I am taking it very seriously.

Any help or understanding would be much appreciated

A loving mummy
